Circular Hardware Design
Learn MoreAbout the Challenge
The "Circular Hardware Design" Innovation Challenge invites you to rethink how we create and use technology. Instead of the design-to-disposal approach, you’ll explore ways to make hardware last longer, easier to repair, and recyclable or refurbishable.
What You'll Learn
In this challenge, you’ll learn to design hardware with circular principles at its core. You’ll explore durable materials, modular designs, and repairable components while planning for reuse or recycling.
